A Dose-escalation Study in Subjects With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)

Study Purpose

GSK2586881, a purified intravenous (IV) formulation of soluble recombinant human Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (rhACE2) is being investigated as a treatment for PAH. This GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GSK2586881 in subjects with PAH. This open-label, dose-escalation study will comprise of 4 separate groups based on the planned dose range, and subjects in each group will be administered a single dose of GSK2586881 ranging between 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) via IV route. Dose escalation will occur after 4 subjects have been dosed per cohort and review of safety, tolerability, PK and hemodynamic data up to 24 hours post dose has taken place. A maximum of 27 subjects will be included in the study and the total duration of the study will be up to a maximum of 59 days.

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.
